Renovation of 12 PMR

Boundary with 12a.

The boundary between 12 and 12A is very simple. There is a completely straight line running the entire length of the front garden, and a completely straight line running down the back garden. There is loads of evidence to prove where the boundary is (and always has been), and there is no dispute regarding the exact position of the boundary line. I have taken loads of photos, so that the aformentioned evidence is preserved once the fences are replaced. Selection below.

Offcut inserted into historic concrete as evidence of bottom post. The right hand side of the fixed rail will be an accurate reflection of the actual boundary line +/- 10mm
Additional evidence of end post position.
And some more.
And more.
Picture showing where the old post and rail fence used to meet the area to which Hugh and Nicki added the feather edge slats. This, along with the picture above, of the post offcut in the historic concrete, give us our line for the actual boundary along the length of the hurdled area.

The next area is the post and rail fence with the added feather edge slats. This is supported by posts that have been in for decades, and accurately reflect the boundary (and form a straight line with the rest of the boundary evidence in this area). I’ve added pictures for our records.

Looking down the garden (behind our cabin).

There is then a scrappy bit of fence made of an old dilapidated panel. The rails have been removed from the post at some point and attached to the other side (presumably to make room for the panel), but there is still plenty of evidence of the actual boundary.

This panel has seen better days, and is one of the reasons we want to start the fence replacement in this area.

This takes us to the side of the garage. I don’t have any photo’s of this area as I can’t see much from our side. We did, however, see loads of evidence of the boundary when we walked round with your friend. Once the area is cleared it will be obvious where the fence needs to go. We will photograph evidence as we work, for future reference.

Right then, now the front garden. This is very easy; there is a completely straight line from one end to the other. The actual boundary is on your side of the rails (to which the chainlink is attached).

The front fence is a straight line, with no room for ambiguity really. The fence is ours, the bull nosed edging is yours.

That pretty much sums up the boundary. I’ve added some more photos of points of interest and additional evidence of the boundary (and it’s position in relation to the current hurdles / planting) below.

The boundary line goes straight through your fruit tree. As did the original fence (see immediately below).
The 2 pictures above are noteworthy as although the hurdles are generally tight to the boundary, in places they do veer off course, as here.
FYI. This is a fence I erected some time ago, of the same type, style, size and orientation as the one I’m going to erect on our boundary (subject to being able to access it from both sides) That is pretty much what it will look like from your side. I’ve built 1000’s of metres of fencing, and want to do the fence myself as it will be done to a much higher standard than any fencing contractor would manage. I’m happy to suffer the financial consequences of doing this, in order that we both have a really nice end result.
